I do science. Casual enjoyer of emerging viruses

[Jesse Plung @jplung2]

I’m happy and honored to be able to share the work that I’ve been doing during my PhD on the discovery of a mosquito specific receptor for chikungunya virus! It really does take a village and I’m so proud of the whole team for getting this story out there!

We are excited to share two preprints reporting a mosquito-specific receptor for chikungunya virus and related alphaviruses! 🤩https://t.co/jSjHjWybpY

We are excited to share our new @CellCellPress paper revealing mechanisms of action of promising drugs against the helicase–primase of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) 🤩@HarvardMicro https://t.co/gI9eIKPeEL

More exciting work from @wanyuviridae and the whole @abrahamlabhms squad! 😎

Happy and honored to be a part of this work! Congratulations to the whole team!

Excited to share our @biorxivpreprint led by @xiaoyi_fann and @wanyuviridae exploring how binding of western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV) to its cellular receptors evolved over the past century 🤩 https://t.co/i1OzCGWkpr @HarvardMicro

Cool piece about our unexpected finding of multiple receptors for western equine encephalitis virus, with receptors shifting over time depending on the strain! Gotta love alphaviruses for always spicing things up.🌶️🤩🦟 @VirologyHarvard @harvardmicro

Excited to share our new study @nature led by @VirologyHarvard grad student Wanyu @wanyuviridae that explores shifted receptor usage by a unique “submerging” arbovirus, western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV).🤩 https://t.co/UnRX3CFFXy

So excited to be a part of this group! As a former @HHMINEWS EXROP student, then Gilliam Fellow, being selected as an investigator is a dream come true. Shout out to all @abrahamlabhms members and alumni! @HarvardMicro @BlackInMicro @HarvardMITmdphd 🤩🥳🙌🧪🥼

[@AbrahamLabHMS @abrahamlabhms]

Excited to share @biorxivpreprint in collaboration with Rachel Fearns at BU in which we determined the cryo-EM structure of the Nipah virus polymerase complex! The complex assembles with a tobacco pipe-like shape with a flexible stem (do you see it?)😃😅https://t.co/9LWOaxMXND

Julianna Han, @ManicassamyLab and colleagues @uiowa @UChicago show that Rab11a+ vesicles serve as platforms for the congregation and assembly of 8 individual viral RNA segments needed to form infectious influenza virus particles.

@GOP The money comes from Amazon, Google, and other multi-billion dollar companies that pay zero in taxes, not from Individual Americans. Did you even bother to read up on his policies?
